Problem 1. (PM terminal settling velocity) Calculate terminal settling velocity (V)

Question

Problem 1. (PM terminal settling velocity) Calculate terminal settling velocity (V) values for ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4) particles versus particle diameter (d) at: 20°C and 760 mm Hg for dry air. Particle

diameter ranges from 0.001 μm ≤d₂ ≤ 10 um. Plot Ve versus da for the described conditions in a plot with Vte on the ordinate and d on the abscissa. Use log scales for both axes. | Solution hints: Follow the steps in example class worksheet problem 2 (Wednesday-Week 4). Calculate Vi by assuming the gas flow is in Stokes region and particles are spherical. Check Stokes region assumption by calculating the particle Reynolds Number (Rep).
